Area covered: Beaver Dam Club off Chandler Dam Rd downstream to about 1/8 mile below Trail 95 cul-de-sac; situated in the special regulations fishing reach
Goals:
- create diverse in-stream habitat
- increase surface area for periphyton and macroinvertebrates
- scour sand, accumulate silt, uncover cobble and rock
- create additional holding cover for yearling and older brook trout
- create additional cover for young of year (age 0) brook trout and increase survival to age 1 in an area where reproduction is highest for this river
- add debris to previously placed structures which are not dense enough to accomplish goals
LWD = large woody debris, larger diameter trees anchored together with various wood accumulation
SWD = small woody debris, smaller diameter trees and brush
R= right bank facing downstream
L= Left bank facing downstream
Bundles = LWD or SWD
